Teresa Martin, Senior Application Specialist, Ideate, Inc. reviews the best of the new features in Navisworks 2013.
Autodesk Navisworks 2013 has some fantastic enhancements this year. Two of the best new features are native Revit support (no more exporting via NWC from Revit!) and the display of levels and grids from Revit in a scene view. Both features have been high on user’s wish lists and this year Autodesk’s Navisworks team has delivered. The grids and levels can be turned on per level or all levels and can also be ghosted on levels above or below the designated level. For Navisworks project teams whom have been struggling with this issue by making their own 3D grids in either Revit or AutoCAD, this will be a most welcome feature.
Additional features that are worth a look are as follows:

Additional features that are worth a look are as follows:
- Clash results that include locations by level as well as the grid reference. Further, clash results may be sorted by level, proximity as well as grid location!
- Costs can now be added to scheduled tasks in Timeliner
- Ability to drag and drop search and/or selection sets directly into the task manager in Timerliner! Huge time savings for creating simulations!
- New Selection Inspector Tool for finding objects.
- Vault integration
- Additional file support for Primavera P6 v8, Archicad 14 and 15 as well as Faro 4.8.
